Rep. Joe Baca, D-San Bernardino, urged people to follow his lead and avoid traveling or spending their money in Arizona in protest of the state law that makes it a crime to be an illegal immigrant.I'm going to thoroughly enjoy the thought of this moron slogging through L.A. traffic to get to LAX. My guess is his boycott will last about as long as his commute.
Baca said he would no longer fly from Ontario to Washington, D.C., because the flight stops in Phoenix. Instead, he said he will take a nonstop flight from Los Angeles to the nation's capital.
"I will not fly through Arizona until the law is repealed," Baca said in a phone interview Monday. "I also encourage people not to travel to Arizona unless they have to. If you have to travel, fuel up in California before you get to Arizona."
Mark Krikorian adds this:
In other news, I've seen several tentative efforts at Buy Arizona! or BUYcott Arizona initiatives, which I suspect will be the first of many. If anyone sees anything more organized or extensive, let me know. In the meantime, buy Arizona State products here and a variety of Arizona gift products here.I think it's time to start taking a look at that Grand Canyon Railway trip I've always wanted to take.
